Welcome to the newest addition to Becky's Cookbook. I have quite a reputation in the family for collecting recipes, and therefore have been fortunate enough to be the one to acquire collections from many relatives. Wonderful handwritten recipes passed from generation to generation.

The recipes span about 100 year period from around the 1905 - 1950's with family grandmothers, to the 1950's all the way to about 1995, with family mothers and aunts. With each recipe, I will tell whom it's from and any history. It's going to take me quite a while, if ever, to get them all in.

Please take note, most of these recipes I have not personally tried!!! I will copy them "as written", so adjust as you see fit. Many shortcuts were taken when hand writing a recipe and much of the time directions are assumed.

I refer often to the "Family Cookbook". This was started on my side of the family in 1980, and as each of my cousins married all the family wives contributed recipes and a copy of them made for each of us. The book started in 1980 with 24 recipes and by 1996 there were about 350 at which time we had it published for us.

I hope you enjoy this new collection and perhaps you'll find a long lost recipe that will remind you of wonderful days gone by. I'm sure finding many for my "to try" list!!! Enjoy!!!
